- Description
- Adopts a "grounded approach to cognition" that combines awareness of embodiment, physical environment, and sociocultural situatedness. Discusses "selected cognitive-cultural aspects of diagrammatic iconicity" that structure ParsT and constitute a "spatialised framework on which abstract notions converged," promoting "the transmission of the cultural community's value-system." Focuses on the tree as a figural representation of knowledge, and pilgrimage as a metaphoric journey to salvation.
